HOORAY! #1: RADIDZO SHUMBA
For those of you who have followed this blog over the past 4-5 years, you likely remember our mentioning Radidzo. We have a WONDERFUL update!
for new visitors and to refresh everyone’s memory of Radidzo’s story, a quick timeline:
Radidzo shows up to Zienzele Workshop weekend with a special treat for Prisca!
2019:
“Our one remaining child is Radidzo Shumba- she is in fifth grade, and she has cerebral palsy. Her family chose not to care for her, but four years ago, an elderly neighbor who had been part of Zienzele took her in. Zienzele has supported Radidzo and her aging caregiver for the past four years as part of our Child-Headed Household program. She has done well in school and wants to be a lawyer. With continued support, we hope to see her reach her goal!”
2021:
“Radidzo wants to continue on to secondary school, and her teacher told us she has been doing very well, is smart as a whip, and would be a great candidate for Secondary. So we went to the Head of the Berejena Secondary and made the arrangements- Zienzele will make sure Radidzo gets her chance!”
